Description:        win32 build fails, because of wrong include
Details:

When you set the ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY define on windows and you try to build
it, you will get an error in thread.c, because it tries to include the
pthread.h, which doesn't exist on Windows. It lacks an #ifdef, that will
include the pthread-win32.h, in case WIN32 is defined.

For 8.1, you need pthreads. There is a package available that provides
the pthread emulation layer. You can get it from
http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/

8.3 will remove this requirement and all parts will work with the native
threads.
